⛈️ Hurricane season is here. Is your HVAC system protected?
You know how quickly a storm can pop up in North Carolina.
The sky gets dark. Lightning starts. The lights flicker. Maybe the power goes completely out.
Then everything comes back on.
But have you ever thought about what’s happening electrically during all of that?
Power surges aren’t just caused by a direct lightning strike.
Power outages, damaged lines, utility switching and power restoration can all create electrical disturbances—and today’s HVAC systems contain more electronics than ever before.
Circuit boards. Variable-speed motors. Sensors. Communicating controls. All connected to your home’s electrical system.
That’s why I believe whole-home surge protection is worth talking about.
Does it make your home lightning-proof? No. I wouldn’t tell you that.
But it can provide another layer of protection between electrical events we can’t control and some of the most expensive equipment in your home.
We can’t control the weather. We can’t control the electrical grid. But we can decide how we protect the equipment connected to it.
I broke it all down in my latest article, including what surge protection does, what it DOESN’T do, and whether I think it’s worth it.
